  Q1. Difference between == and .equals() ?Core Java
Ans. "equals" is the method of object class which is supposed to be overridden to check object equality, whereas "==" operator evaluate to see if the object handlers on the left and right are pointing to the same object in memory.

x.equals(y) means the references x and y are holding objects that are equal. x==y means that the references x and y have same object.

Sample code:

String x = new String("str");
String y = new String("str");

System.out.println(x == y); // prints false
System.out.println(x.equals(y)); // prints true

 Q8. Can we override the overloaded methods too ?Core Java
Ans. Yes. Both concepts are independent of each other. Overriding depends on the methods with same name and signature whereas Overloading on same name but with different signatures. All definitions of an overloaded method can be individually overridden in the derived class.

For example -

Class A has overloaded methods "public void myMethod(String str)" and "public void myMethod(int x)"

We can have derived class ClassB extends ClassA and hence can override both methods myMethod(String str) and myMethod(int x) in ClassB
